Back when I was a kid, our dog would always prefer to sleep outside at night.

Around 2am, he goes absolutely berzerk.

My father and I rush out to see what's going on.

We live way out in the country so it was pitch black.

Started hearing these heavy dragging chains coming closer to us from the darkness.

Trying to wrangle the dog, but he isn't cooperating.

Finally get him and run into the house.

Chains went silent.

Prob not paranormal, but creepy for sure.

Obviously not an actual paranormal experience, but the power went out once when we were watching the Blair Witch Project as a teenager with a bunch of friends, and while you rationally know that there’s nothing supernatural about this, and it’s just a power outage with poor timing, your brain cannot stop itself from freaking out about it when you’re in the middle of it!

Thankfully everyone involved survived the night. 😉

When we watched The Ring with my sons, near the end of the movie, I slipped my cell phone out of my pocket and dialed the land line so it started ringing just when the movie ended.

Screams all around. Great fun.

Paranormal things don't exist. Every such story always has zero proof or has a much simpler explanation that doesn't involve ghosts and magic.

Yeah but these threads are so fun to read under the covers at 2 am.

And this is why I asked! Great bed time stories 😄

Just replace "paranormal experience" with "experience you couldn't explain." No need to sound like a stereotypical internet atheist.

You'll be in for lots of surprises soon, mate.
